It's called an echo chamber FFS. "...sounds like someone in an echo chamber banging on cardboard"... sigh..

Actually right now I'd say the NC are the least powerful Empire... Just my experience though.

So you think they should make kind of a faint, even hum? Do you also think they should be invisible?

Being the best faction, we need to be handicapped to avoid being too amazingly good.

Pointless thread is pointless.

I found the latest leak of the upcoming sound of VS weapons.

I don't know...

It depends on how the laser weapon works. If it is used for ablative or piercing damage then it wouldn't make a sound (except for capacitors, active cooling equipment, vacuum pumps). If it was used to deliver concussive force via rapid breakdown of material nearby the target, then it would sound a bit like a mini lightening bolt.

...Anyway I think the VS guns need more cowbell.

although it sounds like a guy smacking a carboad box, you can tell he is smacking it vigorously with courage and honor. it is a manly smack.

What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets. But enough talk, have at you!

On topic, no. Just sounds like a very rapid "pew pew pew"

It's not even close to "pew pew pew", it's more "pum pum pum". They are very low pitched, have lots of bass, and it feels "hollow", almost completely opposite of PS1's laser weapons.

The armor-piercing modes on the PS1 Quasar had the best sound effects.
